The best sausages in Sydney!

Tonight's blog post topic is very easy to choose...right now, the apartment here is full of the aromas of the best sausages in Sydney, which I've just fried up with a couple of smashed chat potatoes and some greens.

Chicken, goats cheese and caramelised onion. And they tasted every bit as good as they sound. Made by the kings of sausage-making at Hornsby...Adam & Cameron at Tender Value Meats!

I found these guys at the Good Food & Wine show a while ago. Tasted their Moroccan lamb and raisin sausages there, and was hooked. Travelled up to Hornsby the next weekend, and spent $80 buying some of their incredible sausages. and didn't even scratch the surface of what they produce there. Here's the official list, which doesn't include the experimental prototypes:

Awesome snags guys! Adam was telling me they are a chance to get their products into Thomas Dux deli here at Lane Cove...who are mainly stocking the Peppercorn brand of sausages now...very good products too which they've been promoting well with a strong branding campaign.

I've tried my hand at making some Thai-flavoured sausages in the past...green chicken curry ones (pic above) and thai fish pattie ones...there's a lot of skill in getting the moisture levels right so they don't just split open all over the place. Much easier to just buy good sausages!

Right now, the flavours I can taste tell me that Tender Value Meats have the top spot in the Sydney sausage stakes! Will see you on the weekend guys for some more of those!
